Finite verbs? Well, it's about time! [And subject...]

FINITE VERBS have 2 features:

  • They have a SUBJECT (someone or something performing the action)
  • They have a TENSE (time; a present, past or future tense

Examples: 
She sings a song.
He wrote a poem.
It was quiet.
All will be OK.

So ask: WHO/WHAT does it? And WHEN?
[I.e., is there a subject? And a tense?]
